Trading styles allowed at Blueberry Funded and RebelsFunding

Blueberry Funded offers evaluation plans starting at $44 for $5,000, focusing on flexibility with 1-step, 2-step, and instant funding options with an 80% profit split. RebelsFunding provides a highly accessible entry point with its Copper program ($9 for $1,000) and features up to four evaluation phases, offering profit splits of up to 90%. While Blueberry uses a mix of static and trailing drawdowns depending on the plan, RebelsFunding sticks primarily to static drawdown, ensuring a transparent risk environment for all traders.

Updated on

Automated Trading and EAs

Blueberry Funded is the clear choice for traders using Expert Advisors (EAs). It allows the use of automated systems across its MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, and DXTrade platforms. The only major restriction is that Prime and Flex 1 Step accounts do not allow external signals or copy trading. In contrast, RebelsFunding explicitly prohibits the use of EAs, requiring all trades to be executed manually on their proprietary RF-Trader platform. For an automated trader, Blueberry provides the necessary infrastructure, while RebelsFunding is not a viable option.

Scalping

Both firms allow scalping, but with different time-based constraints. Blueberry Funded prohibits "tick scalping" (holding trades for only a few seconds), but has removed its previous "1-minute rule" for most accounts, making it much friendlier for fast traders. RebelsFunding allows scalping but considers trades lasting less than 30 seconds as "aggressive scalping," which is a prohibited practice. Regarding costs, RebelsFunding is significantly cheaper for high-frequency scalpers, charging $2 per lot on Forex commissions compared to Blueberry's $7 per lot.

News Trading

Traders who specialize in high-impact events will find RebelsFunding more permissive, as it generally allows news trading (though it warns against "excessive position sizes" during major releases). Blueberry Funded applies specific "no-trade" windows: the Flex 1 Step account prohibits opening or closing trades 5 minutes before and after high-impact news, while other accounts have a 2-minute restricted window. If you need to enter the market exactly when the data drops, RebelsFunding provides more freedom, whereas Blueberry requires you to be already positioned or wait a few minutes.

Swing Trading and Weekend Holding

For swing traders, the ability to hold positions over the weekend is crucial. RebelsFunding allows weekend holding across all its programs (Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond). Blueberry Funded allows weekend holding on most accounts, with the notable exception of the Flex 1 Step plan, where positions must be closed before the market closes on Friday. Both firms allow overnight holding. If you are trading the Flex 1 Step plan at Blueberry, you are essentially forced into a day-trading or intra-week swing style, whereas RebelsFunding supports a full long-term swing approach.

Copy Trading and Hedging

Blueberry Funded allows both hedging and copy trading (with the exception of Prime and Flex accounts regarding external signals). This allows for complex risk management strategies. RebelsFunding, however, prohibits both. Hedging (both bilateral and multilateral) is listed as a prohibited strategy at Rebels, and any form of third-party copy trading or mirrored group trading is strictly banned. Traders who rely on multiple accounts or correlated hedges to manage risk must choose Blueberry Funded.

If you trade like this

  • If you are an EA Developer: Choose Blueberry Funded, as RebelsFunding does not allow automated trading.
  • If you are a Manual Scalper: RebelsFunding is more cost-effective due to its $2/lot commission, provided your trades last over 30 seconds.
  • If you are a Swing Trader: Both are good, but avoid Blueberry's Flex 1 Step. RebelsFunding is safer as it never restricts weekends.
  • If you trade News: RebelsFunding offers more freedom by not enforcing specific time-restricted windows for entries and exits.
  • If you use Hedging: Blueberry Funded is your only option, as RebelsFunding considers it a breach of rules.

RebelsFunding is significantly cheaper for beginners, offering a $1,000 Copper account for just $9. The smallest entry at Blueberry Funded is a $5,000 1-Step account which costs $44. This makes RebelsFunding the more accessible choice for traders with a very limited starting budget.

Resets are available through your Trader Dashboard for 7 days after an account breach.
Synthetics exception: evaluation phases only, at 20% off base price. Funded synthetic accounts cannot be reset.
